SmileDirectClub is Giving My Husband Something to Smile About

By Jennifer Schorr, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Reading August 19, 2020


Warm, welcoming smiles were how we were greeted the moment we stepped through the door of the SmileShop in King of Prussia. My husband is the only member of our family who has not had any previous orthodontic treatment but has always wondered how easy it would be as an adult to improve his smile by making it straighter. So when we learned about SmileDirectClub and were given the opportunity to check it out for ourselves, we knew this was the perfect opportunity for him. 

Before beginning the scan, our Smile Guide asked if my husband had any questions and went over all the things that were included in the box that would be shipped to our home, including the aligners that would be created just for him. She encouraged us to take out the sample aligner and feel it - we couldn't believe how light-weight it is, which made my husband happy because this obviously would be comfortable to wear.

After that, she handed him a mirror and asked him to talk about what he was hoping to improve. Mainly, for him, it's one tooth on the top that sticks out from the rest. Next, he was asked to put expanders in his mouth to open his mouth up really wide so she could take pictures and scans of his teeth. I was amazed by the scans that were taken and shown to us right away. They again went over what they were seeing together, both pointing out areas that can be improved.


I can not express my happiness more with how kind, professional, and informative the Smile Guide we worked with was. She answered all our questions, went over everything my husband can expect, and treated us as friends, not as a customer. The SmileShop itself was super clean, bright and cheery inside. 

In a few short weeks, my husband will receive his first SmileDirectClub box, containing his aligners, delivered right to our home. This was the first and only required visit to the SmileShop itself, though we promised to visit at the end of his treatment to let them see the results, which they told us they often don't get to see. I am excited to share his journey with all of my readers, too, so make sure you check back each month to see how it's going.

If you are unhappy with your smile, I strongly suggest contacting SmileDirectClub to set up a consultation to get started on your new smile with a free 3D image of your teeth at your local SmileShop. It only takes 30 minutes, and you’ll even go home with some free bright on premium teeth whitening. SmileDirectClub standard clear aligners straighten your teeth for 60% less than other options. Plus, they straighten most smiles gently, remotely, and in an average of 6 months for quick, clear confidence.
